This will end well.......

will it also include the sinking for true adventure lovers? can you throw leonardo dicaprio off the boat?

I think it would be nice if this team as the new ship is singing. People are herded to the tenders and sing "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore Hallelujah."

RMS Titanic and sister ship RMS Britannic were the biggest and most luxurious ships in the world.
Titanic was lost in 1912 to an iceberg, Britannic was torpedoed in 1916 during WWI.
The White Star Line was sold just a few years ago but still runs out of Liverpool.
There is a statue of Captain Smith in Stoke, England, my home town.

I call dibs on First to throw Dicaprio off the boat.

So with the trouble cruise lines have been having with capsizing in shallow water and losing power and being set adrift, building a ship called Titanic II makes perfect sense.

all from inept captains, crews and shoddy maintenance.

I'm actually a liner enthusiast and love taking cruises. I used to work for Cunard Line who merged with White Star years ago. I think this is all pretty interesting and might check this ship out if it ever comes into San Pedro.
